Two More Summer Walking Tours <br />of Louisville to Go! <br />Anne Robinson will lead two more Saturday walking <br />tours of Louisville this summer, on September 4 and <br />October 2. Meet at 10:30 AM on the front steps of the <br />Louisville Public Library. The suggested donation to the <br />Louisville Historical Commission is $5.00 per person. <br />This photo from the early 1900s shows a view of Front <br />Street looking south from the intersection of Front and <br />Walnut. On the left is a saloon that was later the site of <br />a blacksmith shop. <br />New Book Features the Museum's <br />Tomeo House <br />A new book, The Walls Talk: Historic House Museums <br />of Colorado by Patricia Werner, includes the Louisville <br />Historical Museum's Tomeo House among thirty-seven <br />Colorado museum sites whose interesting histories are <br />described in detail. <br />The Tomeo House was built in about 1904 and was <br />primarily the home of the Tomeo family and the Rossi <br />family of Louisville. The book particularly describes the <br />years when Grace Rossi and her six children lived in the <br />house. Today, it looks much as it did decades ago and <br />can be toured by visitors to the Louisville Historical <br />Museum. <br />The Walls Talk can be purchased at the Museum for $17 <br />or borrowed from the Louisville Public Library. <br />Other New Books for Sale at the Museum <br />Two other books now being offered for sale at the <br />Museum are specifically intended to introduce children <br />to our coal mining heritage. The books Coal by Ron <br />Edwards and Adrianna Edwards ($10) and Life as a <br />Miner by Bobbie Kalman and Kate Calder ($8) give <br />easy to understand explanations of coal and coal mining, <br />and include wonderful illustrations and historic <br />photographs. <br />In the Next Louisville Historian: <br />The Untold Story of Louisville's <br />Early Years <br />The next Louisville Historian, for Fall 2010, will look a <br />little different. Pete Lindquist has researched the earliest <br />history of Louisville and his writing of "The Untold <br />Story of Louisville's Early Years" will make up the <br />entire issue of the Historian. Pete has discovered that the <br />town was founded as the result of an expensive <br />miscalculation. For the rest of the story, don't miss the <br />next Louisville Historian! <br />We will catch up on the regular features (such as listings <br />of museum donations, memorial donations, and new <br />members) in the following issue. <br />Thank You for Your Monetary Donations! <br />Thank you to the following people for their recent <br />generous monetary donations, other than memorial <br />donations, to the Louisville Historical Commission and <br />Museum. <br />Robert Enrietto <br />Mr. and Mrs. Charles A.
